"Beyond the Night Sky" - Music for Stephen Hawking by Cheryl Frances-Hoad

To celebrate the 75th birthday of Professor Stephen Hawking, his Cambridge college - Gonville & Caius - commissioned composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad to write a new piece of music in his honour. This beautiful work, sung by the Choir of Gonville & Caius, is called Beyond the Night Sky, and is a setting of a children's poem by the American poet Steven Schnur.

Today is a sad day as I learned of the loss of our "Stephen". Having read about this in a Gonville & Caius article/ tribute to Professor Hawking, it was noted this was performed for him with a link to this video. I am a lifelong singer and also a drummer.
I am in great awe of this amazing Choir performing Cheryl's beautiful piece. It is simply hunting and stunning!
I am fortunate to have come across this wonderful video, though it is for such a sad reason. It will forever remind me of this great man we have now lost. I loved him and his work. Thank you for this piece of Heaven. See you there one day Professor Hawking! 💜 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 💜

I attended a performance of yours in KL last week end. I was mesmerized. After the concert, I went to bed so relaxed and in peace...it seemed like I had listened to the voices of angels . Thank you for your amazing work and talent.
